♡ Missing Person

♡ True-Crime Podcast

♡ Amateur Detective Work

Again, much like the last book I loved the extra details in the formatting.  The little details like that are really lovely.

This book started out a bit cliché, I mean asking a teenager to help find your missing (possibly dead) brother seems totally full proof.  However, I did get invested after a while and the plot really went in a different direction than I was expecting.  The “who did it” was a bit random but it was entertaining to read about the journey.  

Pip having a true-crime podcast totally fits her vibe.  If she doesn’t become a detective after this I’m going to scream because she’s doing the whole police departments job at this point.

Spice Level: n/a

POV: First Person

Release Date: 02, March 2021

Rep: BIPOC (Main and Side Characters), LGBTQIA+ (Side Character)

This book is fantastic! I love the thrill ride it took me on. Holly Jackson is definitely one of my favorite authors! I loved the plot and the characters. I love the podcast. I was hooked until the end.

Amazing book! Adventurous but you have to read the first book to understand a few things. Suspenseful and had me reading till 12:30 last night! Amazing plot and amazing characters.

Again, don’t love the language. Also this book is awfully similar plot lines to the first just a thought. BUT OH MY GOSH

I KNEW FROM THE VERY BEGINNING I DIDNT LIKE CHARLIE GREEN I KNEW IT SINCE PAGE 191 and I’ll admit I thought he was child Brunswick for a little while but when the truth came out I immediately knew he was Layla and the whole plot fell together woah
